I'm trying to make a scene like this:

Goal Scene

But no matter how I mess with the bounce settings in cycles; the light just isn't coming out of the other side of the prism:

    Cycles cannot do this out of the box. Use Luxrender or other render engine. – susu Jul 06 '20 at 19:51
  • No; the issue isn't the dispersion effect its the light not shining on the table on the other side of the prisim. I got cycles to do it breifly but when i tried to figure out what i did it stopped happening and i haven't been able to recreate it again. – Patrick Jeeves Jul 06 '20 at 22:08

It was the "indirect light" in the "clamping" section of the "scene" properties tab. It needs to be set to 0 for light to go through the prism. I do not understand why it is so dark that that happens though.
